Another restriction will be implemented on public transport buses, reducing the capacity from 75% to 50%. Alternate seating arrangements have been adopted on buses, and sitting on these marked seats will result in a fine of Dh3,000.

However, the ceilings for shopping malls (40%), movie theaters (30%) and private beaches, swimming pools and gyms (50%) are still similar to the previously issued orders.
